September was certainly a busy month for Bristol City shotstopper Daniel Bentley. Only Bradley Collins (22) made more saves than Bentley (21) in England’s second tier last month, 10 of which came in a man of the match display at QPR, a record in a Championship game this season. With a WhoScored.com rating of 7.15, Bentley is good value for his inclusion in this XI.<\/p>\n

Right-back: Nathan Thompson (Peterborough) – 7.30 rating<\/h3>\n

After largely featuring at centre-back in August to mixed effect, Nathan Thompson was moved back to right-back in September and he impressed here to make the team of the month with a WhoScored.com rating of 7.30. Thompson’s best performance came in a 0-0 draw with high flying Bournemouth where he made 12 tackles, a record in a Championship match this season.<\/p>\n

Centre-back: Kyle Bartley (West Brom) – 7.60 rating<\/h3>\n

West Brom were one of four teams to go through September unbeaten with Kyle Bartley playing a key role at the heart of the defence. Bartley dominated in the air for the Baggies, winning more aerial duels (51) than any other player. In addition, the centre-back’s 25 clearances ranked among the top 10 players and helped him to a WhoScored.com rating of 7.60.<\/p>\n

Centre-back: Kal Naismith (Luton) – 7.39 rating<\/h3>\n

Luton’s sole defeat in September came at the hands of promotion contenders Bournemouth as Kal Naismith excelled for the Hatters. The notable performance from himself and Luton came in the 5-0 thumping of Coventry in midweek, with Naismith chipping in with an assist, one of two in September. The 29-year-old also ranked third for interceptions (14) to feature alongside Bartley in the team of the month with a WhoScored.com rating of 7.39.<\/p>\n
